Muladhara, Root Chakra

Posted October 17, 2014bydayakaur.com-admin

“The first chakra represents the earth element,

the strength, the grit, that bullish part of you” – Yogi Bhajan

Today’s journey begins at the base of the spine with Muladhara, Root Chakra. Connecting to the element of earth, this centre is involved in our survival, our health, our bodies and our habits. It is the realm of habits, automatic behaviour, and deep seated patterns we use for survival. Just like a building, the chakras need a firm foundation – a balanced first chakra which allows our self awareness to take root and grow.

In Kundalini Yoga, there are many pranayam, kriyas and meditations to help us strengthen our relationship with the first chakra so we can build physical and emotional balance in as little as three minutes a day.
